PEEFACE. 

This record is not presented as a complete genealogy. It was 
hastily prepared for a special purpose from material gathered and 
intended for use at some future time. On account of lack of nec- 
essary information some branches are given only in part and 
others entirely omitted. 

The main object in issuing these pages is to stimulate the re- 
search of the family history by many who desire to follow where 
these pages stop, to induce those who are in possession of particu- 
lars to assist in extending and perfecting the genealogy and of the 
facts that relate to the history of the family, both in America and 
in Europe. It is hoped that the descendants will feel a pride in 
furnishing all information at hand and assist in bringing to 
light the information required for a full presentation of a complete 
histor}^ of the ancestors. 

For many years the author of this work felt a desire to know 
more about his ancestory and the particulars connected with the 
family history. 

During the year 1884 many facts and much data were col- 
lected, but nothing of any consequence was accomplished until 
1889. At that time it was the intention to prepare a short his- 
tory of his own branch of the family, but having been deeply in- 
terested in the work, the interest of members of other branches 
of the family was awakened. 

The data collected was all secured prior to the year 1897, since 
which time the business engagements of the author were such as 
to prevent any time being given to the work. 

Within the past year many inquiries have been received as to 

3 



the progress made with the work and requests for copies of the 
data already at hand, which was in such shape as to be impossible 
to hand over. 

The writer is aware of many imperfections existing in the work, 
but pleads in extenuation of the fact that the difficulties were 
insurmountable. 

The author acknowledges himself indebted to many friends 
for kind favors during the compilation of the work, and while I 
express my sincere gratitude to all who aided me, I especially 
acknowledge my indebtedness to Dr. George Scholl. of Baltimore, 
Md. ; L. E. Shull, of Canton, Ohio; Mrs. Annie Nettleton, of 
Osnaburg, Ohio, and Miss Julia Cascaden, of Philadelphia, Pa. 

That the effort will meet with general approval is the earnest 
wish of the AUTHOE.

EXPLANATORY NOTES. 



The book is divided into seven chapters, six of which give the 
descendants of John Peter Scholl and his wife, Anna Su.<aniia 
Dorothea Scholl, being one chapter for each of their children. 

The last section or chapter gives the descendants of Philip 
Scholl, father of Anna Susanna Dorothea Scholl. 

The Ptoman numerals placed before each name are used to 
designate the generation to which they belong, as : 
I. John Peter Scholl (first generation). 
1 1. Joliii Jacob Scholl (second generation). 

111. .lolm Scholl (tliii-d generation), etc. 

The reader will observe that in the first section of the liook 
Anna Susanna T)oi-othea Scholl is of the first generation, but in 
the last chai'ter or section her father is of the first u;eueration and 
she appears of the second, among the descendants of Philip Sc-lioll. 



INTEODUCTTOIt^. 



It was the privilege of the writer of this introduction to be 
intimately associated, for a number of years, with his paternal 
2;randfather, John Jacob Scholl, Sr., second in the line of descent 
in the family of which this publication is an historical sketch. 
His youthful imagination was often wrought up to a high pitch 
by the thrilling narrative of the experiences of his ancestors in 
their pioneer life among the forest-covered mountains of Schuyl- 
kill county, now one of the most densely populated sections of the 
State of Pennsylvania. 

From his grandfather, who lived until he had passed his ninety- 
5ixth year, and whose mind, richly stored with interesting inci- 
ients of his early life, was remarkably clear and active to the 
iay of his death, he learned many things that were profoundly 
■ nterestino; and instructive concerning; the conditions of the 
country, the heroic struggles and privations incident to pioneer 
ife and the gradual evolution of our modern civilization. 

Born several years before the Declaration of Independence, 
iving within hearing distance of one of the battles of the E.evo- 
utionary War, of which he had vivid recollections, carrying a 
uusket as an enlisted soldier in the War of 1S12, and livins; un- 
til five years after the close of our Civil War, in which he took a 
ieep and intelligent interest, his life, u[i to that time, cov- 
3red the whole period of onr countrv's historv. With such a 
stretch of life, filled with clear and intelligent information, per- 
sonally witnessing and taking part in the development of our 
3ountry iVom the position of dependent colonies to that of one of 
:he ruling nations of the world to draw from, the writer quite 



6 

naturally became deeply interested in tracing the history of the 
family to which he belonged. Information concerning incidents 
personally observed by John Peter SchoU, born in 1738, and by 
him transmitted through that long drawn-out link in the chain 
of descent, John Jacob Scholl, Sr., to the present writer will thus 
be seen to span a period of more than a century and a half. 

The writer, with no farther purpose than that of collecting 
data for his own personal information, began about seventeen ago 
the work of compiling a history of his own particular branch of 
the family. After having brought the work down to that date 
he learned that Alton G, Scholl, Esq., then of Philadelphia, Pa., 
was similarly engaged in collecting information in reference to 
another branch of the family. After some correspondence, the 
data collected by the writer was turned over to Alton G. Scholl, 
who, after years of correspondence and painstaking and careful 
research, has been able to bring down the record to the form in 
which it is now presented. 

The writer joins most heartily with the author of this histori- 
cal compilation in earnestly urging all those into whose hands it 
may come to give him their aid in securing further reliable data 
that will enable him to complete the work in which he is lengagod. 
Bv refering to the author's preface it will be seen that this publi- 
cation does not claim to be either complete or accurate in all its 
details. It is sent out to more than a hundred members of the 
different branches of the iamily in the hope that it may stimulate 
an interest on their part that will result in the gathering of such 
data as will enaV;lc the author to bring the history of the family 
up to date, when, it is hoped, a cuiujilete and accurate history of 
the Soholi family may be issued in permament form.

THE SCROLL FAMILY HISTORY. 



The early history of the Scholl family is shrouded in mystery, 
and if all were known it would read like a romance of fiction. 

The parents of John Peter Scholl lived in the Black Forest, 
Germany, where John Peter was born on April 7th, 1738. 

His father was a prosperous miller and no doubt in good finan- 
cial standing in his community. The larger portion of Europe 
was devastated by numerous wars, and many of the families 
throughout central Europe, not desiring to do military duty, emi- 
grated to America, the family of John Peter Scholl being one of 
these families. 

The voyage, which in those days was long, seems in this 
instance to have been unusually so. The vessel upon which the 
familv embarked was driven out of its course and was afloat 
for several months. By traditions in the family, w^e under- 
stand, the ground was covered with snow at time of embarking 
and the vessel was carried into the tropics, and later, when land- 
ing in America, the fall was ftir advanced and winter came soon 
after. 

A fever broke out aboard the ship and the entire family of John 
Peter Scholl, including his parents, his brothers and sisters, of 
which there were a number, were taken with the disease and died. 
John Peter was the sole survivor of the family. 

Upon the arrival of the vessel in port the master bound out John 
Peter for his passage money (this being the custom when passen- 
gers were unable to pay their fare) and kept all the property of 
John Peter's father, which consisted of household goods, other 
personal effects and a full complement for a flouring mill.

The name of the wife of John Peter Scholl, strange to say, was 
also Scholl. 

x\nna Susanna Dorothea Scholl was born in Baaden Weyer- 
bach, on September 17th, 1741. Some time prior to her coming 
to America her mother died, leaving a small child in the care of 
Anna. This child soon afterwards died tind her father remarried. 
Not finding life with a stepmother congenial, Anna ran away from 
home, and finally met the family of John Peter Scholl, which she 
joined and came to America on the same vessel with them. She 
also worked for her passage. 

The date of the emigration to xlmerica was probablv 1750. By 
reference to the colonial records w^e find the name of John Peter 
Scholl among the passengers of the "Snow Louisa," Captain John 
Pittcairne, from Piotterdam, last from Cowes, and arrived in Phil- 
adelphia November 8th, 1752. 

John Peter Scholl and i\.nna Susanna Dorothea Scholl were 
married probably in 1772, and settled near Pine Grove, Schuylkill 
county, Pa., on what are^ now known as the William Lutz and Wil- 
liam Kreamer farms. John Peter died March 18th, 1814, and his 
wife on February Uth, 1823, and both are buried at Kermerling's 
church grave-yard, at Freedensburg, Schuylkill county. Pa. 

In 1773 Stephen Socks made a large chest for Anna Susanna 
Dorothea Scholl, which was used for many years as a dining table. 
This chest was some years ago in the possession of William Fid- 
dler, who lives near Pine Grove, Pa. 

The last four years of the life of Anna Susanna Dorothea Scholl 
were spent with John Jacob Scholl, at Joe Ravers' place, in 
Schuylkill county, Pa. 

The children of John Peter Scholl and Anna Susanna Dorothea 
Scholl were : 

John Jacob, born December 31, 1773; died April 18, 1870. 

Christiana, born March 5, 1775 ; died June 2, 1859. 

Leonard, born about 1776. 



Peter, born September 5, 1779; died September 12, 1860. 
Henrv, born 1782; died March 4, 1852. 

John Adam, born September 7, 1784; died February 10, 1869. 
John Peter Scholl was lame from rheumatism for many years. 
The following are the inscriptions on the stones that mark the 
graves of John Peter and Anna Susanna Dorothea Scholl :

V. Helen Scho]l,born November 17th, 1879; died November

V. Grace Scholl, born November 17th, 1879; died November 
23d, 1879. 

The following account of Dr. George Scholl was written several 
years ago by one of the professors of Gettysburg, Pa., College and 
published in a history in which he was interested. 

After a course of thorough instruction in the catechism by the 
Rev. Solomon Weils, George was confirmed at an early age, and 
the seeds of parental and pastoral nurture have yielded a rich 
and perennial harvest. 

Not content with the meagre and elementary training of the 
common schools, he pursued advance studies in several high 
schools or academies, after which he enjoyed the incomparable 
benefit, which is the boast of many great men, of teaching school 
for several terms. 

During the winter of 1860-61 he took a commercial course in 
Cincinnati, Ohio ; ^fter which he was employed for a time in a 
large business house in that city. His heart was set on entering 
the legal profession, and a year was spent upon Blackstone, when, 
to complete liis preparatory course, he entered Miama University, 
at Oxford, Ohio, where he acquired the first knowledge of Latin 
and Greek under the tuition of Prof. David Swing, later on the 
famous preacher of Chicago. But the head of the church had 
planned another career for young Scholl, and led him l)y unex- 
pected paths to an institution of his own church. 

In 1864 he entered the freshman class of Wittenberg College, 
Springfield, Ohio, and four years later he carried off the first hon- 
ors of his class. His fellow-students showed their recognition of 
his logical bent of mind and his cogent, lucid style of speech by 
appointing him the debater of the Excelsior Society in their lit- 
erary contests. 

Mr. Scholl's theological course under Rev. Samuel Sprecher, 



21 

D. D., LL. D., was brief, but with such a teacher and such a pupil 
time becomes an indifferent factor. The impress of the learned 
and gifted professor was left on the alert and thoughtful mind of 
the scholar, and the latter was a theologian when he left Spring- 
field, although he by no means entertained the idea that his 
studies were completed. 

His first pastoral charge was at New Philadelphia, Ohio, an 
old congregation which had enjoyed the services of distinguished 
preachers. He began his labors there March 29th, 1869, and 
on relinquishing the same after two years and sev'en months,. left, 
as a monument of his energetic and successful pastoral adminis- 
tration, a handsome church erected at a cost of !^15,000. 

In November, 1871, he became the first pastor of the newly- 
organized Second Church, of Altoona, Pa. His fine executive 
ability came here especially into requisition, and foundation work 
was done so wisely and solidly that in a pastorate of less than 
three years a vigorous and flourishing congregation was devel- 
oped, and an impetus was given to the steady growth which it 
has maintained ever since. He was instrumental while here in 
building a large church costing $25,000, and in opening fountains 
of liberality which continue to this day to pour out streams of 
refreshing upon the church at large. Dr. SchoU has proven by a 
number of instances his extraordinary capacity for stimulating 
the grace of giving. 

On the removal of Dr. Wolf to the Theological Seminary at 
Gettysburg, Pa., Mr. Scholl became his successor in the Lombard 
Street Lutheran Church, Baltimore, Md., a church which has en- 
joyed the ministration of such divines as Krauth, Seiss and others 
well known throughout the church, but which, notwithstanding 
the unfavorable changes in that locality, never had a period of 
healthier or larger prosperity than under Dr. Scholl's self-sacri- 
ficing and clever leadership. He remained in charge of this con- 
gregation, a post of unusal demands and trials, for nearly ten 



22 

years, a period longer tlian any to which his distinguished prede- 
cessors had attained. 

From Baltimore he removed to Hanover, Pa., where he was 
pastor of St. Mark's church for three years. Western Maryland 
College surprised him with the title of Doctor of Divinity in 18S-1, 
an honor which, so far from asking, he was strongly disposed to 
decline. No one questioned his desert of this honorar}" degree. 

Dr. Scholl became a member of the Forei2;n Missionarv Board 
in 1887, serving seven years in the capacity of recording secre- 
tary. In 1884 became corresponding secretary, taking charge 
of all the clerical business, and in 1886 he was elected to fill this 
position on a salary and to relinquish his pastoral work, an office 
which he has filled from January 1st, 1887, until the present time. 
The church has few trusts of greater importance or more delicate 
administration, and it would be hard to find another man in the 
General Synod who could administer it with greater efficiency or 
more general satisfaction. Dr. Scholl's sturdy common sense, 
clear understanding, business tact, his happy address and clear 
presentation by mouth and pen of all the interests of our vast 
foreign mission fields, his influence with men, and his command 
of the absolute confidence of the Church in his devotion and dis- 
cretion, have combined to create and sustain a sreneral livelv and 
growing sympathy with the cause he represents. Whether we 
look at the steadv increase of contributions, some risinsc into the 
denomination of thousands, or at the constant enlargement of the 
work in India and Africa, everywhere the evidence of wise ad- 
ministration and Divine favor cheer the friends of foreim 

O 

missions. 

Dr. Scholl is in the best sense an able preacher of the word. 
He impresses his audience as a thinker, a reasoner, a teacher, and 
an exhorter. He has a clear grasp of the gospel ; his thought is 
luminous, striking and practical; his manner easy, graceful and 
winning; and his sermons are stimulating and suggestive, not 



23 

easily disregarded by the hearer, nor soon forgotten. "With iin- 
coraraon tact they are adopted alike to the cultured and the un- 
learned. 

He also wields a graphic pen which alike in the Missionary 
Journal, of which he is the foreign mission editor, and the church 
weeklies, confines its products mainly to the discussion of foreign 
mission issues, while in the Lutheran Quarterly it expatiates on 
other topics of ecclesiastical or scientific im,port. The church has 
recognized his administrative virtues and clear-witted under- 
standing by frequent elections to positions of trust, and he has 
at different times represented Allegheny Synod, the Maryland, 
and that of West Pennsylvania in the Board of the Seminary of 
the General Synod at Gettysburg, Pa. He excels in social quali- 
ities, and the gentle, peaceful, joyous tributes of a living faith 
and a grateful spirit forms largely the secret of his popularity.

DESCENDANTS OF LEONARD SCIIOLL, SON OF 

JOHN PETER. 



Leonard Scholl was born in Schuykill county, Pennsylvania, 
near what is now known as "Pine Grove," in 177G; married in 
Schuylkill county ; name of wife unknovv^n. In the spring of 
1806, in company with his brothers^ Henry Scholl and John 
Adam Scholl, he emigrated to Ohio, but returned to Pennsyl- 
vania in the fall of the same year. 

Nothing directly is known of the life of Leonard Scholl. It 
seems that he traveled back and forth between Ohio and Penn- 
sylvania, having a residence at times in both States. He lived 
at Tiffin and Cincinnati, and the last heard of him was many 
years ago, and was then living at Shelby, Ohio, where it is sup- 
posed he died. 

He had two children, George Scholl and Mary Scholl. 

George Scholl lived a short time in Ptichfield, Juniata county, 
Pennsylvania, but spent considerable time in Ohio. He enlisted in 
the Navy twice, but nothing can be learned of his career in that 
service. The records have been searched, so it might be possible 
that he assumed some other name when he enlisted. 

Mary Scholl married Joshua Frantz ; the marriage, it is said, 
took place in Pennsylvania. Nothing is known of this family, 
except they were supposed to have one child.

n. Henry Scholl, born 1782, died March 4tli, 1852 ; married 
Marie Catharine Reid, born August 29th, 1784; died October 
28th, 1860; buried at Paris, Stark county, Ohio. She was a 
daughter of Michael Reid. 

Henry Scholl moved to Ohio in the spring of 1806, where he 
took up a section of Government land near Canton, Ohio. At 
the time the warrant was issued to Mr. Scholl the clerk in the 
land office spelled the name " Shull," and the family from that 
time spelled their name that way. He cleared the section of 
land and afterwards built and conducted a hotel, which 
to-day is still known as the " old Shull tavern." Catha- 
rine Reid Shull, wife of Henry Shull, was an invalid for 
about 40 years (died in 1860). During the latter part of 
her life and during those 40 years she was not out of bed, and 
Mary (who for some reason was always called Polly) and 
Elizabeth (known as Betsy) nursed and cared for her, and 
for this servioe were to have the 80 acres of the old home- 
stead as a home. On the death of Mary (Polly) EHza- 
beth came in possession of the property. Mary (or Polly) was 
also a cripple, being a hunchback, and her services were for the 
most part rendered at the bedside administering to the wants of 
her mother. Among other duties it was her task to keep her 
supplied with pipe and tobacco. However, while in a sense an 
invalid and bedfast, yet two children were born during the time 
she was bedridden. Within a stone's throw of where the first 
cabin was built is a graveyard, where all of the children of rela- 
56 



57 

tives and neighbors who came later to the neighborhood were 
buried, there being no burial ground established as yet, except 
this one. 

The present house standing on the old homestead is a large 
two-story brick, rather colonial in style. Brick were made on the 
ground. This was the third house built. The first cabin was built 
at what is considered the most inaccessible corner of the farm. 
No traces remain of the cabin. 

In the spring of 1806 Henry, John Adam and Leonard (three 
brothers) came to Ohio. 

The following account of the old homestead appeared in the 
Canton (Ohio) Eepositor, during the summer of 1897 : 

A party of Massillon and Canton people spent Thursday with 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nettleton, at the " old Shull tavern," near 
Osnaburg — a landmark well known in this part of the countr3^ 
One of the party has kindly contributed the following account of 
the visit : 

Half way between Paris and Osnaburg, or about eight miles 
east of Canton, stands the famous old Shull farm. Here, in 1806, 
or 92 years ago, Henry Shull cleared the woods for a homestead, 
buildino; his own saw-mill to saw the timber and burned his own 
brick to use in the construction of his home, which has always 
been occupied l)y some member of the Shull family. There it 
stands now, and as staunch as ever, with its large rooms and wide 
halls, and two verendas, one above and one below the entire 
length of the front of the house, the verandas ornamented with 
an old climbing rose ; its chimneys and sides are almost hidden by 
a wild grape vine Coming upon it as it stands upon the hill- 
side almost hidden by trees, modernized only by its beautifully 
kept lawns and flower beds and with the I'olling hills and valleys 
surrounding, it is a picture never to be forgotten. 

It was the pleasure of a party of friends from both Canton and 
Massillon to be bidden to enjoy the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. 



58 

Charles Nettleton, who now occupy this old place, Mrs. Nettleton 
having inherited it from a relative, well and familiarly known as 
"Aunt Betsy Shall " — the occasion bein^ a surprise to Mr. Net- 
tleton in honor of his birthday anniversary, June 9th. After offer- 
ing congratulations, and after a hearty welcome, all naturally be- 
gan to wander through the rooms. The most interesting was the 
room containing the antiquities, which, in the days it saw active 
service as a tavern, was office, cloak room and bar room. Here 
one might spend a month in study and research and be unwilling 
to leave the various articles which carry one back to "ye olden 
days." 

At one end of this room is a high poster bed of mahogany, with 
draperies and valance of white linen and fringe, a coverlet or quilt 
of white, blocked with blue and red, bearing the date 1844. Un- 
derneath are two immense feather beds, making it necessary to 
have a step-ladder to mount and disappear, and, as it would seem, 
a derrick with which to be brouo;ht to the surface in the mornino;. 
Then there is the great fire-place with its logs of wood in readi- 
ness for a cool day, and its accompaniments of pots and kettles. 
The mantel above was filled with old kitchen utensils, candle 
molds, etc. In other corners were spinning wheels of different 
designs, an old bureau with glass knobs, cupboards containing 
many unique and much-coveted pieces of china, an old musket 
over the door, old chairs and tables, and many books, such as 
almanacs, school-books, and bibles in both German and English 
text, yellow and l)rown with age. Among these and of particu- 
lar interest was an almanac, " Der Volksfreund und Hagerstau- 
mer Calendar-," <late 1809. 

At noon dinner was served in this room, " in ye olden style," 
and the service in keeping with the times. The table-cloths were 
of linen raised and spun on the farm, dishes of many odd color- 
inciis and desisrns of Eno-lish and Dutch ware, amon<y these being 
a tea set Ijelonging to Mrs. Nettleton's grandmother, nearly a

66 

IV. Lora Augusta Shull, born January 11th, 18G3 ; died 
March 2d, 1864. 

IV. Leonard E. Shull was born on the old ShuU homestead, 
in Ohio, April 23d, 1865, some six months after the death of 
his father, which occurred the previous October, from the effects 
of a fall from a chestnut tree. This child came into the world 
the son of a widow, who had a large family, and, naturally, little 
means with which to battle through a harsh world and raise her 
children. The husband being taken away while in his prime, had 
not yet had opportunity to provide for the after years of life. 
However, with a stern determination, this widow kept her family 
of children together, and raised them in the good old-fashioned 
Christian manner ; not in luxury and ease, but in a full realization 
of the necessity of honest effort to guarantee a successful life. 
Each was given a common school education, and not until the 
subject of this sketch had arrived at the age of 10 years was the 
home broken up, when he went to live with relatives, finally 
finding his way back to the old homestead, where for some years 
he made his home with a maiden aunt, who had come into pos- 
session of the property. After some five years he sought to pro- 
vide for his own livelihood by securing a job as a day laborer in 
a lumber yard. Before starting to work, however, through the 
assistance of his good old mother, who had ever kept a watchful 
eye on her boy, he secured a position as general boy of all work 
in a hardware store in Canton, Ohio. His work was attending 
the iron, nail, oil and glass warehouse, doing the delivery, and as 
this was before the days of delivery wagons in Canton, the deliv- 
ery was all done with a hand-cart and usually before time to open 
the store in the morning, so as to be on hand during opening 
hours, which were from about 6:30 a. m. until customers no 
lon.ejer came. This meant sometimes 10 to 11 and even 12 
o'clock at night. For this service he received the munificent sal- 
ary of $50 per year, with board, and washing thrown in, and he

was required to sleep in the store, making his bed out of such ma- 
terial as horse blankets, etc., from the store's stock. After a year 
or so of this he chanced to see an old advertisement, " Boy Want- 
ed," and made application and fortunately secured the position, 
which paid $1 per day. Later this was raised to $1 .25, but soon a 
panic spread over the land and the boy was no longer needed. 
With no work to be had about Canton, the young boy went to 
Indiana and worked on a farm for a year and a half. He again 
returned to Canton. Meeting his former employer, he secured a 
position and has continued with the same establishment up to the 
present time. 

While not burdened with financial wealth, he has a pleas- 
ant home in one of the most desirable localities in the city, a 
worthy wife and four most interesting little boys, whom he hopes 
may grow to be honorable and useful men. Aside from being 
always steady at daily vocation, he has been a most active secret 
society man, holding various positions of honor in the different 
organizations in the Subordinate, State and National bodies. He 
is a Past Master of McKinley Lodge, No. 431, F. & A. M. ; he 
represented his lodge in the Grand Lodge of Ohio ; has for fifteen 
years been secretary of his local Council of the Jr. 0. U. A. M. ; 
also servino; in the State and National bodies of the latter order; 
is a member of the Knights of Pythias. But suffice, we would 
not monopolize the space in this history, as there are many others 
who likewise deserve their measure of space. 

Mr. Shull was married April 14th, 1891, to Clara Magdalene 
Holzen, born November 21)th, 1865 ; daughter of Frederick Hol- 
zen and wife, Mao;dalene Shetlev. Children : Harold Manis,

DESCENDANTS OF PHILIP SCHOLL, FATIIEE OF THE 
WIFE OF JOIiN PETER. 



While there has not, so far as the compiler has learned, been 
nothing traced to show that any blood relationship existed be- 
tween the families up until the marriage of a daughter to John 
Peter SchoU, still will include a list of the descendants of Philip 
Scholl. 

The parents of Philip Scholl were supposed to have been born 
near Baaden Weyerbach. Their names are unknown. 

Philip Scholl was married twice ; dates unknown. From in- 
formation gleaned the second marriage may have taken place 
about 1750 ; but it is positively known that Anna Susanna Dorethea 
Scholl was a daughter of his first wife and supposed to be the 
oldest of the fjimily. The children were : Anna Susanna Dore- 
thea, Michael, John Stephen, Philip Peter and two daughters. 

Philip Scholl emigrated to America and settled first in Bucks 
county, as is evidenced by the baptismal certificate of his grandson, 
John Peter Scholl. 

He afterwards moved to York county, where the family of his 
daughter, Anna Susanna Dorethea Scholl, often visited.

APPENDIX. 



The following; account of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Scholl 
is taken from the Lutheran Observer of June, 1881, and should 
appear on page 15 : 

" Scholl. At her residence, near Lyons Station, Fayette county, 
Indiana, May 30th, 1881, Elizabeth Scholl (maiden name, Eliza- 
beth Reed), calmly a.nd sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, at the ripe 
age of 70 years, 11 months and 25 days. 

"Mother Scholl was born in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, 
and entered the Lutheran church in her youth, under Rev. George 
Minnich. She was married to Jacob Scholl January 3d, 1829, 
and came with her husband to this State in 1833, and settled on 
a farm adjoining the one where she died. She was one of the 
few surviving members that foi'med the organization of St. Paul's 
Lutheran church at this place. She was a consistent and faith- 
I'nl Christian, serving her Master in every way she could. Her 
works are visible, especially in her family, where the vii'tues of 
a true wife, and devoted mother shine the brightest. Two of her 
.^ons [troclaim the blessed gospel, viz. : Rev. Daniel Scholl, of 
Wellsville, Franklin county, Kansas, and Rev. George Scholl, of 
Baltimore, Maryland ; and it can be s;iid truly, that more effi- 
cient lay members cannot be found in the clnirch than her (chil- 
dren pi'ove to be. Besides her beloverl husband, five sons and 
l\V(i daughters, and a very large number of near and remote rela- 
tives, the whole chur(;h and community mourn her loss. A very 
large procession followed her remains to their rosring ]>l;i( i'. .lunc 
1st, and tlie occasion was improved trom th*^ woi'ds of IViul, 2 
Timothv iv.. G, 7. i*^. whi<-h she (juoted shortly l)efore her death. '
